The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation released a report on family violence Wednesday and immediately drew fire from a domestic violence group astounded that the report did not address unmarried and same-sex couples.

The report analyzed more than 40,000 incidents of domestic violence involving spouses, children, grandparents or extended family in 2012. The report found that simple assaults accounted for two out of every three domestic violence incidents, women were twice as likely to be victims and that nearly two out of every 10 incidents involved drugs or alcohol.
